I watched him last night with Amy S. and thought to myself she must have the patients of  a saint  to cohost with him.   I thought he was going to devour the entire display of Davids cookies.  He said Taylor Swifts name on air which Amy told him they are not allowed to do, he is reminding us to check out of our carts, and why on earth is he even hosting? Amy is fine alone.


@Catch71  It's his show..."Dennis and Friends."


It may be called his show but he needs a cohost to hold the reigns.  Amy was reigniting him in the whole show.

@lonistwin  Fully agree, he is creepy and that voice is like nails on a chalkboard. He needs to take several chill pills and speak with an inside voice instead of shouting over everyone. I will not watch him.

He is creepy, cannot stand him.  PLUS he murders animals for a living.

Sorry to say but his voice I can't stand it.  Bugs me to no end.  Never watch him.

@spabar He lost me (maybe forever) when he pushed David's cookies for Passover dessert. Very ignorant for a man who lives and works in a large metropolitan area which has a huge Jewish population. I guess he is just one of those clueless types.

What's wrong with pushing cookies for Passover dessert @Q-Checker?  Not criticizing, just curious as am not Jewish.  And NOT a DB fan btw.

@Q-Checker  I didn't watch, so didn't hear that, but all the hosts need to be schooled in traditions other than their own. 

There's always a lot to be thankful for if you take time to look for it.
For example, I am sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don't hurt.

@KKJ, Passover has very strict dietary guidelines, and those cookies do not qualify. Without getting too bogged down in details, even though they might say that the cookies are kosher, that doesn't mean that they are kosher for Passover. Which they are NOT. And I am also surprised that he didn't realize that.

@KKJ Passover food laws forbid the use of flour or leavened grains. Desserts are often made with almond flour, matzah cake meal, and potato starch. Eggs and sugar can be used for binding and creating soft centers and crispy edges. The traditional cookie is a macaroon --- far from the cookie that Dennis promoted for a Passover dessert. The food laws for Passover are more extensive than this, but I limited my response to the food involved in Dennis' faux pas. Basically, observant Jews follow these dietary laws to commemorate the ancient hasty escape of the Jews from Egypt when the bread that they made did not have time to rise --- and their gratitude to the Lord for their escape from generations of a life of slavery.

@KKJ If you are interested, I added a brief explanation of the basic rationale for 

Passover dietary laws. Sorry -- a phone call interrupted me when I started my previous post.
